TORONTO, Aug. 25 /CNW/ - As Ontario recovers from North America's worst blackout, NDP Leader Howard Hampton and U.S. Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich meet in Detroit Wednesday to promote the value of a publicly owned hydro system. The Democratic candidate is intimately familiar with FirstEnergy Corp., the for-profit firm being blamed for the Aug. 14 blackout. Kucinich's epic battle to prevent the sell-off of Cleveland's municipal utility to FirstEnergy's predecessor eventually propelled him to Congress.
